Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

KANAWHA FALLS - West Virgina




DESCRIPTION:  Kanawha Falls is located in an unincorporated community in Fayette County West Virginia.  The Falls is on the Kanawha River, 2 miles south of Gauley Bridge.

The Falls are a mere 15 feet high, but very wide.
  

ACCESSIBILITY:  A walking path leads to the old mill that sits on the edge of the Fall. Handicap fishing is available directly off of the parking lot which is positioned in front of the Falls.




TYPE: 
            Tiered: Water drops in a series of distinct steps or falls.







 
 
DIRECTIONS:  The Falls are right along US60. Drive south on US 60 for 21 miles; one-mile past Gauley Bridge. The red Kanawha Falls sign is well marked on the left; however, during the "rainy" season, you may sidetracked by the  small waterfalls on the left of the road (driving south). Be aware, you may fly right by the parking lot to Kanawha Falls.
